In 2005, Sanjay Dutt was mainly seen in cameos or guest appearances except for films like 'Shabd' and 'Dus' that had him in the front. Be it Tango Charlie, Parineeta, Viruddh, Shaadi No. 1, Vaah Life Ho To Aisi or a song appearance in Ek Ajnabee, there were always other stars in the movie that were projected as leads.

2006 has been different in this regard with first 'Zinda' and now 'Tathastu' releasing soon that has him in the main lead. Interestingly the movie also unites him with his 'Dus' director Anubhav Sinha who has made diverse films like 'Tum Bin' and 'Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahi Dekha Hai' in the past before coming up with a popcorn entertainer 'Dus' and now a drama 'Tathastu'.

The film is about a father's struggle to fight against the immunity and numbness of the society towards the injustice done to his daughter. 'Tathastu' also stars Amisha Patel and Jaya Prada in the lead.
